Bush Beans 



with Green Pods 



CULTURE: Seed of these beans must not be sown until the ground has warmed up 

 and all danger of frost is past. Sow in drills 18 to 30 in. apart and cover the seed with 

 1 to 2 in. of fine soil. Within the rows the seeds should be placed 2 to 3 in. apart. 

 For a succession of tender flavorful pods, sow every two weeks until early September. 

 One packet will sow about 25 ft. of row. Use one lb. to 100 ft. of drill or 60 lbs. per acre. 

 The dwarf string beans are among the easiest crops to grow, requiring little care beyond 

 good tillage. Give frequent and shallow cultivation to preserve the soil moisture but 

 never touch the foliage while wet with dew to prevent the spread of disease germs. 

 For the Mexican Bean Beetle, dust or spray with Slug Shot or Mexogen.
